As male who was previously a frequent victim of domestic violence, the cops are the fucking worst for this. I don't even normally have beef with the cops, and have predominantly had good interactions with them, but the system taught to police in the U.S., the Duluth Model, is broken beyond repair. It literally teaches them to assume the guilt of men in any domestic incident, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It's absolutely bullshit, a male domestic violence victim, especially one who is disadvantaged, can have their life turned upside down by someone calling the cops.

They claim it's just in case the situation is more nuanced than "husband beats wife", but realistically, it's to terrorize the abused person into *never calling the cops again*.
